Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

and I'm out of fic

Do you need (1) lower standards, or (2) an additional fandom?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Or (3) some recs?

I support recs. Except I am pretty limited on fandoms!! Also open to “you don’t really need to know the show/book” a la some Yuletide things.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

One of all three columns, please - I've just finished prepping a loaf of garlic cheese bread.

Recs in what fandom(s)? (I have a one-track -- well, two-track -- mind and can really only rec Good Omens or The Magicians.)

Parker, I'm assuming you don't want recs from my fandom. (Tho' there is a lot of cracky fluff in fancy cannibal land, IJS.)

If I can guide us over to the fic thread, I can find some Yuletide-type "don't need to know the canon" stories.

Steph, there has to be Good Omens fic I haven't read yet.

Atropa, I wish I could read recs in your fandom! Sadly, the "Wow, that's elaborate, I wonder how they -" gets bumped aside by contemplation of the ingredients list.

ETA: Works for me, Dana, see you over there.

To the Fic thread!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I seem to do this weird thing where I read fic for shows I don't watch, and then sometimes watch the show. I did this as early as Veronica Mars, based on vonniek's recs, for example. And Sports Night. And Schitt's Creek. And I read Stargate Atlantis, and I think I still haven't watched much!. I think some of it is that I like podfic so I follow the reader and their voice. And some is that I also read a lot of RPF without knowing much about the fandom (like Hockey).
